March Madness

It's that time of year again. For the past few weekends I've kinda been a basketball widow. But honestly, Kevin's been busy so it hasn't been as bad this year as it usually is.  The one thing that's different this weekend, is that the final four is taking place here in Houston.

At the convention center downtown is "bracket town". Basically a fun zone for all things basketball. Kevin's mentioned that we should go, but with four little kids, and him being preoccupied with basketball, and all the crowds, I really didn't want to go. But this morning, I decided that if we got there as it was opening maybe the crowds wouldn't be too bad.

It was very managable when we got there and the kids were amazed at everything in there. This place is a basketball lovers dream. I'm not kidding. at all.

(most of these pictures are blurry. We took Kevins little point and shoot, and I have no idea how to use it. Yes, I can use a big DSLR, but not a simple automatic camera. I don't get me.)

The kids loved that there was just SO much to do.  and luckily we were early enough that the crowds were very light. It was super busy by the time we left.

Kevin and his "final four" (hehe, He kept saying that to everyone that commented on our little brood, which happened quite a bit actually. ) 

JJ even got to play with the basketball a little bit.

The best part of the day for sure was Kevin in the shoot-out competition. He saw it on the screen and decided that he had to do it. His first time through he was nervous and didn't do too well. (There were ALOT of people standing around watching). So he did it again, and ended up with the highest score of the day. That score won him two tickets to the championship game monday night.

They almost didn't give him tickets cause he'd gone through twice so when he got the call that he did win some he was ecstatic! Seriously, he is in HEAVEN right now and hasn't stopped smiling all day.

So, I'm super glad we decided to go and let him indulge in all the basketball a boy could ever dream of. It was a fun day and he is one very happy man!
